TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I’m betting the toxicology reports comes back with much more than a couple beers in his system.

What’s with that woman letting him at her? She was save and sound inside her vehicle. Keep the doors locked and windows rolled up and slam that baby into gear. She could have smushed him like a bug but noooo, she had to get out so he could get at her and now she has to have surgery.

If its possession, its also a new type of possession. I have read up on several exorcisms and have none of them involved the possessed being cannibalistic. I am having a hard time believing these cases are caused solely by drugs or alcohol. Something else has to be going on.

So face eating must be countenanced as part of His plan in some inexplicable way!

I am not a theologian, but I think this is bad theology. We have free will. That means we make mistakes and we sometimes do bad things. We have a sin nature, and it shows. It is generally not a good idea to look at a broken world, filled with broken people doing sinful things and to say, "God wants it this way. It's part of His plan."

God wants us to be good. But we constantly disappoint him.

It's hard to tell if there's actually an increase or there's a media effort to find them.

Like the "summer of shark attacks" a couple years back, everybody was looking for an answer to why there was so many shark attacks, when in actuality there was no increase at all. There was just an explosion of media coverage.

Once a couple of face biting stories happened, the media now scours the world for more face biting stories to fit the meme.

A year ago, if some drugged out nut in China bit a woman on the face, you would have never heard about it. This year its front page news.

I don't believe this is random and I don't think the primary driver is drugs or alcohol, although they may play a role. There is an arriving spiritual darkness that is casting its shadow across the globe. It is characterized by unrestrained evil, a lawlessness which will give bloom to full blown anarchy.

“So face eating must be countenanced as part of His plan in some inexplicable way!”

There’s nothing inexplicable about it. God gave us free will, and free will means that He doesn’t interfere to stop us every time we get the urge to eat some faces. Just like your children never grow up unless you let them make some mistakes, God lets us make our mistakes too.

[ Ok. Why is this face-eating thing happening? Even if people are on drugs, why would they all express their rage in the same weird way?

Has there been a movie about this recently?

Should I just go with a demonic possession theory until the virus or poison is identified?

What is going on? ]

Some agent, biological or chemical is causing the higher brain functions in these people to become surpressed. This is causing them to revert to a more primitive state which makes them act like chimpanzees, (remeber chimps WILL eat your face off if they are pissed off enough). Thi is what is happening.

Now for the cuase of the chemical and/or biological agent that is doing this, I have no idea.

Social justice will be achieved in these random cannibalism matters only when the rest of us who are not fighting crazed zombies are taxed senseless.
Death to the white devils, and let a thousand flowers bloom.
